The first 25 pages of this document pertain to procedures to follow in writing a manual, rules for entering manuals in national Distributive Education Clubs of America competition, and some summary sheet examples of State winners that were entered at the 25th National DECA Leadership Conference. The remaining 75 pages are an example of an area of distribution manual on "How Fashion Changes Relate to Fashion Designing As a Career," which was a State winner and also a national finalist. In the example manual, the importance of fashion in the economy, the large role fashion plays in the clothing industry, the fast change as well as the repeating of fashion, qualifications for leadership and entry into the fashion world, and techniques of fabric and color selection are all included to create a comprehensive picture of past, present, and future fashion trends.

The process of fine tuning the uniform regulations to accommodate the various functions of the park ranger began in the 1930s. Until then there was only one uniform and the main focus seemed to be in trying to differentiate between the officers and the lowly rangers. The former were authorized to have their uniforms made of finer material (Elastique versus heavy wool for the ranger), and extraneous decorations of all kinds were hung on the coat to distinguish one from the other. The ranger's uniform was used for all functions where recognition was desirable: dress; patrol (when the possibility of contact with the public existed), and various other duties, such as firefighting.

Acknowledgement Lapo expresses his gratitude for spelling corrections to: Oliver Oppitz. iii Preface Hagakure is the essential book of the Samurai. Written by Yamamoto Tsunetomo, who was a Samurai in the early 1700s, it is a book that combines the teachings of both Zen and Con- fucianism. These philosophies are centered on loyalty, devotion, purity and selflessness, and Yamamoto places a strong emphasis on the notion of living in the present moment with a strong and clear mind. The Samurai were knights who defended and fought for their lords at a time when useful farming land was scarce and in need of protection. They believed in duty, and gave themselves completely to their masters. The Samurai believed that only after transcending all fear could they obtain peace of mind and yield the power to serve their masters faithfully and loyally even iv in the face of death.

He was, after all, an unusual rabbit. (Don't worry, an assistant meat man said, that critter could talk his way out of anything.) There we stood: she, possibly pregnant, rabbit in hand; butcher, cleaver dangling, hand on skinned haunch (nanny or billy not clear); me, distracted by movement in a back shop corner. It was your standard butcher shop: glass case, filigreed walls, wood chopping block (waist-high, double-wide), the small stage where the Pips would later perform. The metallic tang of raw meat. Behind the counter, shelves reached to the ceiling, packed with jars and cans (kidney pies, pickled pig parts). We failed to see the goat lurking in the shadows. What I learned: what you escape to as important as what you escape from. But first, the rabbit. We knew nothing of breeds. Suspected we might be breeders ourselves (what got us into this). Five-and-a-half pounds, deep red coat, wild ears, muscular flank, well-rounded hind quarters. We didn't appreciate what we had, even apart from his ability to wax philosophical. ("Desire fractures us all," said the rabbit, about to go on the chopping block.) 2. Not even the butcher wanted a blind rabbit. "What am I supposed to do with that?" he asked, cleaver in hand. Tall and thin, he wore a white apron over a crisp white shirt.

    Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre

    Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Thomas Gaubatz All rights reserved ABSTRACT Urban Fictions of Early Modern Japan: Identity, Media, Genre Thomas Gaubatz This dissertation examines the ways in which the narrative fiction of early modern (1600- 1868) Japan constructed urban identity and explored its possibilities. I orient my study around the social category of chōnin (“townsman” or “urban commoner”)—one of the central categories of the early modern system of administration by status group (mibun)—but my concerns are equally with the diversity that this term often tends to obscure: tensions and stratifications within the category of chōnin itself, career trajectories that straddle its boundaries, performative forms of urban culture that circulate between commoner and warrior society, and the possibility (and occasional necessity) of movement between chōnin society and the urban poor. Examining a range of genres from the late 17th to early 19th century, I argue that popular fiction responded to ambiguities, contradictions, and tensions within urban society, acting as a discursive space where the boundaries of chōnin identity could be playfully probed, challenged, and reconfigured, and new or alternative social roles could be articulated. The emergence of the chōnin is one of the central themes in the sociocultural history of early modern Japan, and modern scholars have frequently characterized the literature this period as “the literature of the chōnin.” But such approaches, which are largely determined by Western models of sociocultural history, fail to apprehend the local specificity and complexity of status group as a form of social organization: the chōnin, standing in for the Western bourgeoisie, become a unified and monolithic social body defined primarily in terms of politicized opposition to the ruling warrior class.

  • Officers' Uniforms and Gear

    Officers' Uniforms and Gear

    officer’s guide Lesson 3: Officers’ uniforms and gear Reference: The Officer’s Guide, 1944 edition; AR 600-40; FM 21-15. Study assignment: Lesson text, attached. What the uniform signifies “The wearing of the prescribed uniform identifies the officer or soldier as a member of the Army of the United States.”1 It identifies the wearer as one who has sworn to defend his nation against a determined enemy, even at the risk of life; the details of the uniform inform anyone to understand the level of authority and responsibility of the Officer or soldier, and in general the kind of job he does. It also identifies all soldiers as members of a single team. How to wear the uniform Rationale: The uniform you wear—as a soldier or as a living historian—represents a long tradition of courage, resoluteness, selflessness, and sacrifice. The manner in which you wear the uniform is not a trivial thing. But keep in mind that wearing it improperly cannot reflect on the soldiers who wore it under enemy fire. But it can reflect on you. The charge is on you to wear it in a way that would not suggest a lack of respect for those who wore it in earnest. Manner of wearing the uniform: The uniform should be kept clean and neat and in good repair to the extent possible. Reenactors get this backwards in their fevered desire to look like seasoned field soldiers. Here’s a philosopical view: A soldier is a man trying to stay clean and presentable under impossible conditions.
  • Teresa Barger '73 Address Santa Catalina Alumnae Reunion March

    Teresa Barger '73 Address Santa Catalina Alumnae Reunion March

    Teresa Barger ’73 Address Santa Catalina Alumnae Reunion March 24, 2018 Thank you so much to the school and my class for this honor. 1969 was a weird year. The year we entered Catalina, the country was deeply divided by the Vietnam War; the nation was just getting over the assassination of Martin Luther King and the race riots that followed; and the Summer of Love with its ethic of “If it feels good, do it” was devolving into craziness. Only a month before school started, a Catalina alumna and cousin of our classmates Katie Budge and Marian Miller was killed by the Charles Manson “family.” But what did I know? I arrived anxiously at Catalina from Saudi Arabia wearing the coolest footwear I had—goatskin sandals with tire tread soles. These were the height of fashion in Saudi Arabia but not exactly huaraches or whatever the cool kids like Dana Hees would wear. And since it was so very cold here, I was never without my trusty navy blue raincoat with its fake sheepskin lining … in hideous red. Since I apparently greeted everyone I met with some exciting tidbit about the oppression of the Palestinian refugees, Joan Frawley later told me she thought I was a refugee. The first time I knew that we should care about the Vietnam War was when Mary Pickering wore a black armband at school on the day of the Moratorium to protest the Vietnam War. I had to look that one up—“moratorium.” Now I think back and wonder how those few nuns kept it together.
